I *think* five hours. I'm thinking of when we go to Breyerfest in Lexington, then over through Newport/Cincy, but there are other ways... I'm so geographically challenged... and I JUST twisted my ankle getting out of the car! Stupid! D'oh! It's swelling, too.

OOH- really? I'd looked at their schedule and it just said "Picnic", so I thought "WAAH!"

What was up with Murphysboro? I think I made Ms. Baye REALLY mad at me when I called and asked "Um- do you guys know anything about the other DW's schedule? I can't reach them"... I didn't mean to- We're dance nomads and come in peace!

Well I'll find out for sure tomorrow--I've got a lesson at noon (in other news, not sure how good of an idea that is, since I need to sleep for about 2 days straight after my "vacation").

I have no idea what happened with M'boro. It was a bad idea to begin with, and wasn't the idea of anybody actually in charge at DW. But no worries about Ms. Baye--she strikes fear into the hearts of even us regulars, hun, and there's no telling what was going on there. Or even if she was actually mad; sometimes she just sounds that way.

It was just really strange- a couple months ago, we were down with the crew, and heard Danny plug for the DW2 studio all positively and yay and all. We thought "Oh, goody- another place to shop/eat/dance". They'd just put the finishing touches on it, it was open, etc.

We called JUST before Memorial day, they were still open, but no answer. One week later, I got a call-back from them.

She told me "Uh, we're, um- we're not *really* even affiliated with that one"- and I believe her, but it was just weird that they had the same name, even the same font/logo/etc. as the real deal. Then just poof- closed.

I really hate they went out before we could even go check 'em out. I know there're good restaurants down there- like the Bell Buckle and all...

DaLD, We might be haunting your way later on in the fall, I just remembered a friend of mine wants to go to something horsey up that way, but I don't know what it is- not Equine Affaire, I don't think...
